Why I Blog

I think that every blogger has his/her own reasons for blogging. I thought that I should state - for the record - exactly why I am doing this.

Why I Blog:

I blog because I want to keep an account of my family's life. My children are growing up before my eyes, and I don't want to forget a moment of itHowever, it is not possible for me to blog about EVERY little thing that happens in my life, or the life of my children. I try to keep up, but I do get behind sometimes. Things may get left out.

I blog because I have lots of pictures of MY children that I want to have at least somewhat organized and displayed in some fashion. I've resigned myself to the fact that I may NEVER catch up on scrap booking, so this is one way to display family photos.I do NOT blog to display pictures of other people's children. If they want their kids displayed, they can put them on their own blog.

I blog because I enjoy sharing my family's news with our family and friends.I do NOT blog with any particular reader or groups of readers in mind.I do NOT blog to make anyone else happy (or sad, or angry, or whatever).

I blog because I LIKE it. I like to write about things that happen to me and how I feel about them. I like to get feedback about those things from people that happen to read it. It is healing to write about life's events - good and bad.I do NOT blog because I think my life is more interesting than anyone else's.

I blog because I like to share things I've learned about or things I'd like to buy (like fun Etsy stuff).I do NOT blog because I want to show off to anyone.

I blog because I see it as a tool to promote my business. I like to pretend that at least someone who reads it cares about the new things that I make and would like to know about them. Yes, I'm trying to run a business here!

The bottom line is, this is MY blog. I have my OWN reasons for using it. I'm not going to change it for anyone else. I'm going to post what I want to post. I'm not going to apologize for anything I have or have not posted here, or anything I may or may not post in the future. If you don't like what you see here - DON'T LOOK.
